Xusana Davis would love to lose her job. Vermont s first executive director of racial equity says nothing would please her more than if state leaders told her they no longer needed someone working to eradicate systemic racism in state government. I have a bottle of Champagne waiting for that day, Davis told lawmakers recently. Because the point of equity work is, we want to put ourselves out of business. For now, however, the 32-year-old from New York State seems to have enough work to last a lifetime as she confronts the pervasive racial inequities plaguing the second-whitest state in the nation.
